That seems like an unbelievable deal - I thought I got lucky when they were down to 15.99 & 19.99 at Costco. If I didn't already have them, I'd get them now - thanks for the post!

[dg7md]

This is being talked about at the Target Blu BOGO thread, a ton of boxsets are 13 dollars each like Arrested Development, Seinfeld, etc.. A bunch more too, just check out a store and pick up what you like.

[merkman]

Gotta find Simpsons Season 4 - Need Monorail and Mr. Plow to be MINE!!!

[norkusa]

Always Sunny In Philadelphia Seasons 1+2 will be mine tomorrow for $12.99!

[dg7md]

Always Sunny In Philadelphia Seasons 1+2 will be mine tomorrow for $12.99!

Season 3 is on sale as well, for 18.99. So be sure to look out for that.

[H-Town Info]

Also How I Met Your Mother seasons are 12.99.

[saticoy]

I sold Family Guy Vol 2 for $19 on Amazon recently, so this seems like I lucekd out with my timing. Always Sunny is far consistently funnier than Family Guy, so if you've never seen it, pick it up.

[Masterkyo]

I got the ad today. Plans pick up Family Guy season 5 & 6 :)

[Josef]

Well, this was in the weekly ad. No one posted the weekly ad deals yet?

I miss Speedy...

[oasisboy]

I was very tempted to get all seasons of Family Guy but nah. I dont think I would watch every episode more than once...

[BShea]

wow... this deal seems amazing! I'm swinging by my Target on Wednesday probably!

[smashingradioheads]

Picked up season 8 if the Simpsons. I would have bought more but the only had season 8 & 10 in stock.

[squishface]

hmmm, might have to check this out.

Fox needs to stop slacking and bring out the new Simpsons dvds already.

[kube00]

Yep I saw seasons 4,5,6 of Family Guy for this price.

[ticalmc2k2]

I'm hoping I can pick up Arrested Development Seasons 1-3 for $12.99 each. Excellent deal!!

[Foo228]

I'm hoping I can pick up Arrested Development Seasons 1-3 for $12.99 each. Excellent deal!!

Could watch 'em on hulu.

Thanks for the info, op.

I also saw a season of something called "The IT Crowd" for $12.99 yesterday. I had never heard of it before, but it looked funny.

I'm hoping Amazon matches this now...

[PR Mega X]

Definitely in for Family Guy S6 and maybe It's Always Sunny, if my Target still has them in stock by Thursday.

[JolietJake]

I may pick up that IT Crowd set, show seems funny.

[mtxbass1]

If Amazon will match the Family Guy seasons, I'll pick those up to complete my collection. I need to quit buying the Simpsons when they come out near release for $19.99 each...

[Salamando3000]

Jumped on Simpsons Season 10 for that price, but it and Eight were all I saw. Since I already had 8, saw no reason to get it again.

I posted (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5699434&postcount=60)them (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5699443&postcount=61)in the Target thread for the OP to add to the first post, but the guy never did. I figured why make a new thread when one already exists.

But as was mentioned, there's a bunch more deals at Target than what's in the ad. It's well worth the trip.

I didn't know it was out on DVD - that is a great show. But is it on sale or just a new title you were interested in? Don't see it mentioned anywhere and was confused as to why you mentioned it.

[smashingradioheads]

I noticed at a couple Targets I went to that Weeds season 3 is also on sale for 12.99

[KeyserSoze81]

Though not part of the sale, my Target also had House BOGO packs: Seasons 1 & 2 and Seasons 3 & 4 for $44.99 each.

[ticalmc2k2]

I'm failing to see where in the Target ad it says that seasons 1-10 of The Simpsons are $12.99. I only see Season 10 for that price.

[dg7md]

There's a lot more on sale than the ad shows. Seasons 8 and 10 are this price but if your store has the other ones (not 11 and up) they're probably also on sale for 13. The problem is that I don't think many Targets actually have the earlier Simpsons seasons in stock.

[argyle]

Because I mentioned it a few posts up...it's on sale.

[GrilledWitOnions]

Completely missed that, thanks for the heads up. That's a great price - I'll have to see if my Target has it.

[MoxManiac_]

Picked up family guy 4 and 5. They had 6 but it was marked at 29.99.

[Mako1215]

damn i dont need to see this

[Masterkyo]

Pricematch with BB Season 5 used $5 RZ gift card knock down $8 plus taxes. Return mine copy Guitar Hero: AE (360) i bought last week for $10 at Target and pick up season 6. Re-buy Guitar Hero: AE (360) at Gamestop with store credit and get free wired guitar :)

[Keavy_Rain]

A quick question for someone thinking of taking advantage of this deal: Which Simpsons seasons are worth owning, assuming I can find them at this price?

I currently have Season 3 ($5 brand new at Deseret Industres) and remember liking the show up to Season 8, but beyond that my love of The Simpsons began to wane and I stopped tuning in religiously.

I bought, and will only buy, up to season 10. Season 8 was what I would say "the pinnacle", with the rest dwindling down. I wasn't even sure on season 9 and 10, but when I bought the DVD set at a cheap price I was surprised at how funny of some of those were. I'd consider myself a diehard fan (still can quote most episodes by heart), to about season 11, and I don't feel bad about owning any of these DVD sets.

[MoxManiac_]

3-8 is in my opinion the golden years of the simpsons, with season 6 being my all time favorite.

[dg7md]

Anything after season 11 of the Simpsons just isn't worth owning. I was and still am a gigantic fan of the show, and even the later years and recently they still have some great episodes but none really that'll be seen as historic or be looked at the same way.

If you want just the most solid episodes, you probably want 3-8, though 9 and 10 have some good ones too. I'm enough of a hopeless case when it comes to that show that I've already pretty much committed myself to buying each and every set that comes out when it drops to $20 or less, so maybe I'm not the most objective source here.

[PR Mega X]

I'd definitely jump on the Simpsons if I didn't own them already -- instead I picked up Family Guy vol 5 & 6 and How I Met Your Mother S1. Thanks OP.

[mr_burnzz]

i got simpsons seasons 1-4 during the circuit city thing for 17.50 each. im gona check out target to see if there are any i dont own. at 13, thats a great deal. season 4 is the best that i have..so many classic episodes within that season.

everyones opinion seemed to be spot on about when the seasons start to suck. I wouldnt get anything beyond 11 or 12. everything below that is pretty much gold. maybe except seasons 1 and 2 only because they have the OLD school feel. but i enjoy em because they are the simpsons.

im sorta new to CAG and the acronyms utilized here are quite something...YMMV? your mutants may violate? i dunno...OP is original poster, right? good looking out OP.

a few good simpsons quotes..
~hey supernintendo chalmers!
~me fail english? thats unpossible!
~why dont we ask grampa, hes the toughest simpson we know! Yea, remember the fight he put up when we put him in the home?

peaz!

[dg7md]

YMMV stands for "your mileage may vary", which indicates that it depends on where you are located for availability and is not guaranteed to be there.

[ticalmc2k2]

I agree with most of the others, seasons 3-8 are the best Simpsons seasons, everything else is spotty.

I was hoping all these seasons would be in the ad so I can pm at work (BB).

[Mako1215]

Yea I'd say 3-8 are the best,but im a diehard Simpsons fan so ill buy them all like i did futurama.

[GrilledWitOnions]

Well, that's easy enough since Futurama was only 4 seasons. It's getting harder and harder to shell out money for the dvd sets when the quality of the show AND the set itself keeps dropping with each season.

[Mako1215]

Yea but I buy them when there around 12-15$, and I was just giving Futurama out as a refence since it was the last one I bought.

I wish that I had waited for all the sets to hit $12-$15. I don't know if I was just too new to buying cheap or if the Simpsons sets were just in higher demand, but I was buying around the $30 mark up until season 7 or so. Since then it seems like each month the sets get cheaper. Doh!

I really thought the older sets were worth $30, but season 10 and 11 I am glad I paid something around $15 for each. They are horrible.

And I own all of Futurama as well; an easy four season set to pick up that was consistently funny.

Just to be a pain in the ass: there are actually 5 seasons of Futurama but they're combined on to 4 DVD volumes...if anyone cares.

I currently own season 1-8 but I wouldn't mind picking up seasons 9-11 at the $12.99 price point... I think I'd probably be looking for sub-$10 on seasons after that. I'm hoping that Simpsons doesn't start coming out on Blu-Ray as, up until the current season, I don't believe any of it exists in HD and I really don't want my OCD to make me re-buy it...

I have the first 2 seasons imported, will import the third as well. Great show, hilarious stuff. It's from Graham Linehan who wrote Father Ted, Black Books, and some of Big Train. Great show, very good price.

If you haven't watched The "IT" Crowd before, you may want to try watching it on Megavideo. It's pretty funny for a British WebComedy. I'd recommend it.

[Keavy_Rain]

I went to Target today and found seasons 8 and 10 for $12.99 and season 11 for $20.

I just got eight (Damn, I love this season. Watched the whole set as soon as I got home) and, while I was there, noticed they have In Living Color 2-pack for $20. Considering I missed the 5-season ILC for $40 deal on Amazon (STILL kicking myself over that one) I will have to go back for that.

same here they only had season 8 and 10, I was hoping for a few more.

Wow. The first episode was pretty damn funny. Of course, I'm an IT guy, so I've seen plenty of guys like that.

[BWOzar]

same here they only had season 8 and 10, I was hoping for a few more.

Over the course of the last week I went to three different targets and only saw seasons 8 and 10 (@ $12.99 each) and season 11 (@ $29.99). I picked up season 10 (already had 8 and that's too much too much for 11)

[psunami]

Yeah, I never saw season 9. Oh, well. I'm certain it'll be on sale again somewhere.

[merkman]

I actually asked at the customer service desk at the beginning of the sale last week. They said Season 4 (the only I wanted) was no longer in their system, and no stores had it. Needless to say, I was bummed, as that was the only one I wanted... but Cie La Vie.

[Keavy_Rain]

I've seen Simpsons seasons 1-4 at Wal-Mart for $15 a pop.

Personally, I'm hoping Season 6 gets re-released in the non-Homer head version. I refuse to buy a season I have to store seperate from my others.

[Vulcan2422]

I picked up Family Guy Volume 6. Thanks for this OP! I was surprised all the family guy volumes were only $12.99. At least I'm caught up!

[LinkinPrime]

This is dead now...right?

Didn't this already happen, a long time ago? I could swear I've seen it.

Based on half.com listings (and UPC numbers) it suggests that the non-Homer head version will be re-released in May 2009. It was released prior to the movie back in Summer '07 as well.

[RudyPants]

I wonder if theses DVDs will ever catch up with the current season. It doesn't seem likely unless they release the next five seasons in one Blu ray collection or something.

If this deal is still alive, it's definitely worth checking out. I own all eleven seasons myself.

The pace of releases actually got screwed up because of the writer's strike. I mean they'd still be way off from catching up but the writers couldn't record tracks for the season 11 release which knocked everything a bit off kilter. The rumor is June for the release of the next DVD season - it's actually up for pre-order on amazon now (no release date set, but it's Comic Book Guy on the cover).

I've read there is almost no chance of Blu-Ray releases from before the current (20th) season because the existing animation is relatively low-quality and far too costly to update to anything resembling Blu-worthy quality. Plus they already spent money to restore the episodes for the DVDs and the picture quality, especially in the older seasons, is rather uninspiring.

Plus it looks like crap on an HDTV. I just did a marathon of seasons 3 and 8 on my HDTV with my PS3 and, even upscaled, they didn't look so hot.

8 wasn't too bad but season 3 was a mixed bag. Some episodes looked worse than season 1 and 2's.
